That was terrible. Basically 2 launch games. Paid online. Quirky minigames. No 3rd party stuff.

I assume that's it for Nintendo consoles. I didn't think it was possible, but mark my words, this is bombing harder than the WiiU.

They proved time and time again that they have no idea where to fit in the modern gaming market, and that disconnection will be met by rejection. If they wake up by the time Switch under performs, then maybe the stuff they'll make as a 3rd party or a mobile producer will offset the losses.

For now, I'm out :/

As a home console... yep, pretty good chance of it.

It appealing to the large handheld fanbase has a chance to save it though.

Not at $300 it doesn't.  People didn't want to pay $249 for a 3DS or Vita, they sure as heck aren't going to want to pay $299 for this.  Personally, I see another Wii U here.  Things may improve if Nintendo goes the 3DS route and slash $80 off the price tag a few months out.  But, if they are stubborn like they were with the Wii U's price, then they can forget about it.  Mobile may be Nintendo's future if they decide they don't want to put any games on the PS4/XBO.
